If you replace “without writing any code using javascript, react or svelte or vue or angular frameworks” with “writing as little js as possible and without using react or svelte or vue or angular frameworks.”, then yes. It is unlikely that you will write zero javascript. But you will write orders of magnitude less than with other options.

I agree :+1: . My only piece of advice is not to put off your app idea too far. When you are learning HTML/CSS, try to practice by creating pages you might use for your app. When you are learning Elixir, consider how you can use what you’re learning to build your app.

It always helps me (both from a learning and motivation perspective) to keep my overarching goals in mind.

Hi @RKC07 welcome!

I’d say the best place to start is still the Programming Elixir book, especially if you are new to functional programming. The guides on the official Elixir site are good, but the Programming Elixir book takes you at a slower pace that I think really facilitates learning for new people.
